Riverbend Carnival – On the 7th day of Growfest, a group met at the annual Riverbend Carnival in Riverbend. The group consisted of Petra the human paladin, Red the diopsid barbarian, Erlwyn and Carrack the rogue gnome couple and Quintavian the half-elf sorceress.
They heard Boddynock the gnome town crier of Riverbend announce the carnival showings and that the halfling hamlet of Lukrimar Keep needed assistance. The group paid 1 sp each to see the “Luminous Order,” which turned out to be a gnome acrobatic troupe with lights on their heads. The group spent the night at Erlwyn and Carrack’s place at the local university where they teach and study.
The following day, on the morning of the 1st day of Planting, the group set out toward Lukrimar Keep and made their way to Sumberton, City of Bridges (and Ale!). There they saw troops, led by Captain Morr Donellgan, stationed in Sumberton riding back from a successful fight against gnolls that had attacked the small town of Dondorran. They met the local stone giant, Corrask, who opens and closes one of Sumberton’s bridges, and the local halfling merchant, Vintra Marktunsel, of the Chicane Guild of river merchants, run by the Marktunsel halfling clan. They spent the night at a local inn.
On the 2nd day of Planting, the group continued on to Lukrimar Keep, and stumbled onto a goblin ambush of a merchant wagon. Five goblins and three eleves lay dead or dying, with one elf and three goblins in mid-battle. As the group rushed to the scene, the last elf fell. A battle ensued, and the remaining goblins were defeated. A halfling merchant, Sten Goodseller, of the Hundivarst halfling clan, emerged from the wagon and greeted the group. In exchange for assistance returning to Lukrimar Keep, Sten agreed to give 100 gp of items from his shop.
The group continued to Lukrimar Keep and was surprised by an enraged goblin druid and his wolf companion. The goblin yelled “Forest Ravagers” in goblin and what sounded like a curse in another language and att
acked with his flaming hand, but was defeated. The wolf escaped into the dense forest.At nightfall the group made it to Lukrimar Keep and stayed for free overnight at the Barrow’s Edge Inn, courtesy of Mallie, the barkeep and de facto town mayor. They also received free healing from Listra, cleric of Pelor.
